OT teams need to add local Ethernet capacity without replacing a rugged base switch, and Cisco Industrial Expansion Modules let them extend an existing industrial cabinet without redesigning the wider network. They keep one managed platform in place while adding the ports needed for nearby sensors, controllers, cameras or access links.
In production floors, substations, warehouses, remote cabinets and facilities areas, they support controlled expansion in harsh spaces and help keep PLCs, telemetry, monitoring and building systems connected. That reduces workarounds, limits downtime during changes and keeps support models clearer for IT and OT teams.

Data centre teams need local Ethernet capacity for building systems, cameras, environmental monitoring and other critical controls without replacing the base rugged switch. Cisco Industrial Expansion Modules let them add ports in the same cabinet and keep operational networks manageable in areas where office-grade equipment is not suitable.
Energy and utilities sites need rugged, local connectivity for telemetry, control and monitoring while keeping operational networks separated. Cisco Industrial Expansion Modules help teams extend port count in substations, plants and remote assets without redesigning the wider network.
Logistics operations rely on connected scanners, cameras, gates, vehicles and warehouse systems that can outgrow the original cabinet plan. Cisco Industrial Expansion Modules add local ports inside rugged deployments, helping teams expand connectivity in dusty, hot or vibration-prone spaces.
Manufacturing teams need stable connectivity for PLCs, HMIs, robotics, sensors, cameras and maintenance devices on busy production floors. Cisco Industrial Expansion Modules let them increase local Ethernet capacity in a rugged cabinet without replacing the base switch or adding fragile workarounds.
Telecoms teams need hardened connectivity in cell sites, roadside cabinets and field networks for backhaul, monitoring and remote service equipment. Cisco Industrial Expansion Modules extend port count within the same rugged switch platform, supporting local expansion where standard enterprise hardware is unsuitable.
Cisco Secure Network Analytics uses network telemetry and behavioural analysis to identify unusual activity across connected environments. It helps infrastructure and security teams understand traffic between enterprise IT and operational technology systems, uncover suspicious behaviour and identify potential threats more quickly.
Explore Cisco Secure Network AnalyticsCisco XDR correlates telemetry from network, endpoint, cloud and firewall security tools to create a clearer view of potential incidents. It helps security teams prioritise alerts, connect related activity and coordinate investigations when threats could affect industrial infrastructure and the wider enterprise environment.
